Located just 25 miles from downtown Chicago, Midlothian Country Club is the oldest private country club on the south side of Chicago. Midlothian is one of the areas most celebrated private clubs offering unparalleled family culture, history and tradition. In 2024, we debuted our recently renovated upstairs Lounge, Midlothian Ballroom, Thorne Room, Ladies Locker Room and new Bridal Suite. Thanks to the wonderful design team at Chicago’s Antunovich Associates for their modern twist on our classic spaces. In the summer of 2022 southwest Chicago’s historic country club and host venue of the 1914 U.S. Open Championship – showcased the stunning results of its dramatic course renovation led by famed architect Raymond Hearn. Since 1898, Midlothian has long provided its members and guests with a challenging, traditional golf course on the verdant property which was the first private club on Chicago’s South Side. While paying due respect to the original course design by Herbert J. Tweedie, with influences from famed Scottish architect Donald Ross prior to the 1914 U.S. Open Championship, Hearn’s redesign marks a return to the layout’s championship caliber. All 82 bunkers were renovated by Hearn and now feature eye-catching Pro / Angle Sand for increased playability and easier maintenance. Meeting demands of the modern game, the tee-boxes were lengthened for added yardage as well as new sightlines and shot-making options placing a premium on strategy. The renovation melds the historic past of Midlothian’s timeless layout, even recreating intriguing pin positions from the 1920s, with contemporary course design principals that will continue to put the 18 in the highest echelons of Chicago area golf clubs for decades to come.
